Indoor bike storage on campus?
I'm in Grade 12 right now, I've decided on going to uOttawa and I'll be staying in residence this September. I'd like to bring my bike, but don't want to have to transport it back to London once winter comes around. It's also a decently expensive looking mountain bike, so I'd be worried about theft if I left it outside. Is there anywhere on campus or residence that I'd be able to store a bike or just outdoor racks? Also what's the best on-campus residence that isn't 90u?

We have 2 secure bike parking facilities on campus. It's $10 per semester or $25 for the whole year.

Surprisingly cheap, thanks for the link.
Well worth it for the peace of mind. Also the Desmarais one is indoors.
Just note that a couple of times a year they will tag the bikes that have been locked, in both secured and regular racks, but not moved for a while and then they cut the locks after a week or so to clear out abandonned bikes. I forget exactly when they do this but make sure to check out when it happens (they also send a warning email) so you don't get yours cut.
